My Secret Billionaire Husband-Chapter 2060 - 2054: My money is my girlfriend’s money.

Ashton Heath, however, was not someone you could capture on camera all the time.

Upon hearing some noise, Joanna Lawrence looked up and sure enough, she saw Ashton Heath walking towards her.

In his smart suit and polished shoes, the man was tall and straight and handsome. His aloof aura that said, "Keep your distance," discouraged people from approaching him.

Though his facial expression was cold and detached, he broke into a fond, gentle smile upon seeing Joanna.

He quickened his pace towards Joanna.

As he got closer, Joanna opened her mouth to speak, only to have her hand taken by Ashton Heath.

With an audience watching, he entwined his fingers with hers.

"Baby," Ashton Heath turned his head and said in a soft, tender voice, "Let’s go."

Joanna felt a bit shy under the gaze of the crowd. She pursed her lips and gave a soft hum of agreement.

Hand in hand, Ashton actually led Joanna away.

He seemed to pay no attention to the prying eyes around him and, holding Joanna’s hand tightly, he headed towards the exit of the venue.

"President Ashton, please wait a moment."

Some journalists stopped them.

Ashton Heath paused in his tracks.

The journalist jogged over and, upon Ashton’s attention, took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to ask, "President Ashton, are you here to pick up Ms. Joanna?"

Ashton curled his lips: "What do you think?"

The journalist was taken aback, and he nervously rubbed his hands, "President Ashton, you donated three hundred million dollars to the Charity Gala tonight, you... "

Before the journalist could finish his sentence, Ashton Heath interrupted him, "The three hundred million wasn’t donated by me, it was donated by my girlfriend. Please make sure not to get this wrong."

The journalist paused again.

"But the three hundred million wasn’t your... "

"My money is my girlfriend’s money." Ashton Heath turned to look at Joanna standing beside him, his eyes filled with affection, "I manage our money on her behalf. If she wants to do something, I just provide the money."

The journalist: "..."

The crowd eavesdropping on the conversation: "..."

A few female artists let out a sigh of envy.

"Joanna’s boyfriend spoils her so much."

"Rebecca Kelloway is there too. I wonder how she feels hearing all this."

"Didn’t Ashton Heath see her? He didn’t even greet her. We heard the Kelloway family had some trouble and the Heath family didn’t help them. Could their relationship be strained now?"

At this moment.

The subject of the gossip, Rebecca Kelloway watched as Ashton held Joanna’s hand tightly, not even sparing her a glance before leading Joanna away. She bit her lip, clutching her fists tightly. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

The way Ashton looked at Joanna and all the things he had said felt like multiple daggers stabbing into her heart.

The deeper his fondness for Joanna, the colder he was to her.

He made everyone envy Joanna.

And he made everyone laugh at her.

The most loving person seemed to be him.

Yet the cruelest one was also him.

Leaving the gala.

It wasn’t until they were in the car that Ashton Heath let go of Joanna’s hand.

Once in the car, Zack asked, "President Ashton, Ms. Joanna, where are we heading to next?"

"Just head home."

"Alright."

The air conditioning was on in the car, making the temperature very comfortable.

Yet, Ashton Heath took off his coat and draped it over Joanna.

"I’m not cold." Joanna looked at the suit jacket on her and was about to take it off when Ashton held her hand.
